Not bad so far. I picked non-lethal as these games always reward you for going the "nice" route. Running DX11 as I saw a bit of weird gfx artifacts with DX12 enabled

I never completed Mankind Divided, I'll probably go back and finish it at some point. I did the same thing with Human Revolution, never finished it and then went back to play it one day. I think both games are great, M.D. definitely has a lot of improvements over H.R., especially with the size of the levels. I really like the Deus Ex games, probably one of my favorite series. One level in Mankind Divided reminded me of that city in Ghost in the Shell where they catch the hacker. The Deus Ex games did draw a lot of inspiration from Ghost in the Shell. I played the Revision mod for the first game, found a Star Wars easter egg in that one (Darth Vader painted on a wall in a bathroom). *edit* Here it is:  |

Sadly this is the first game that doesn't like my streaming setup for twitch.
I use 1 monitor playing in Borderless Window mode with a chat embedded on the top.
For some reason this game gets like a 75% performance hit in borderless window mode. I go fullscreen and its smooth as glass.

Apparently if you sign into Square Enix you can use your smartphone to scan items in the game. Pretty neat.

Could be an issue with vsync. I was able to run the game in borderless window mode just fine.

So, I just beat it... Took 24 hours total for my first playthrough. All in all, I really enjoyed the gameplay and atmosphere, story's good but the ending kinda sucked. It wasn't a bad ending (plus I only saw one possible ending AFAIK), it just came about very abruptly. I knew as soon as I started seeing other modes and difficulty levels unlocked, I had reached the end. Just wish there was more.
Looking back, it's a pretty rich game with lots going on and plenty of choices when it comes to objectives. Also the levels are big and have secrets if you look around enough.
This song during the end credits I thought was awesome too:

I think I liked Human Revolution more but it was still a solid game. I did full non-lethal/stealth since the game supposedly lets you pick your playstyle but I find this games are ridiculously hard if you try and go in guns blazing. The end boss cracked me up: {CLICK FOR SPOILER}He is this big dude and I just hit him with an EMP nade and BAM. Takedown. Kinda anticlimactic. |

Yeah I agree that Human Revolution was great. Mankind Divided was also great, but it feels like it ends right when it starts getting interesting. Unfortunately, Eidos put the Deus Ex franchise on hold so they can work on a Marvel game. I just hope it's not 5 years between this one and the next one again.
*edit* Also I did a bit of both stealth and guns blazing, as I've always done with all the Deus Ex games. The weapons in Human Revolution and Mankind Divided are great, so are the augmentation powers. I liked those extra "unstable" augs in Mankind Divided, chose the one with that crazy looking magnetic/nano armor, pretty much makes you invincible but uses up energy very quickly. It helps to have energy capacity and recharge upgraded all the way.
